E0816ML1125S EQ 125 Amp, 8-Space, 16-Circuit, Indoor Main Lug Surface Mount Load Center

So a lot of these subpanels are able to be mounted upside down if it makes it more elegant for your wire runs. This model would tempt the user to do so, as the top and bottom are not symmetrical, and one side may fit your needs better. This is great until such a time as you go to mount the door, and find its labels upside down. The breakers are not on center so the door fits only one way. Luckily the labels aren't gorilla glued down and can be upended if necessary. Having said all that, it's a quality unit with thick steel and nice paint, adequate room inside for elegant wire routing, and it's still skinny enough to fit between two wall studs 14-1/2 inches apart. It's an okay value, made better because I already had a ground terminal block I could use in it. If you're using this as a subpanel, as most will, you'll need this separate block at additional expense.

Panel came with no grounding bar but otherwise, no issues. square-d panels are really nice and easy to work with. Used as a subpanel and it has plenty of space for circuits.

Perfect size for an outdoor shop subpanel. I have my house panel's 50 amp circuit feeding the main lugs, and you can keep it all 120v or go 240. I opted for 240 @ 50amps. Purchase a ground bar. It's not included and bonded neutral wiring to a sub panel didn't work for my gfci breaker that feeds. Cross a ground and a neutral, *click. Doesn't matter if the circuit you've been working on is hot. If ground and neutral connect, gfci pops. No big deal. Just glad I had already planned on separation of the two. If you plan on feeding by generator, please do bonding research! If unsure, call an electrician. 😀

This is a great electrical box that is the same quality you'd get at a big box store but for less money. Not much else to say... I can easily recommend.

This is great to work in and I didnt hate putting it in.

I was happy to find this on Amazon as during covid they were hard to find. I like Siemens panels. They are very using friendly.

Edit June 21.2019: IMPORTANT: The ground bar that Amazon links to this panel DOES NOT FIT. It is a 15 place bar that is too long to slide into the area that this panel has for it and the attachment screw holes are not lined up. Get the 8 position bar which is 5" long. I repeat; what can I say? It's a sub panel. It a steel box with a locking door, and some plastic and metal inside. No complicated engineering here. I got Siemens because my other sub panel (lugs only) is also Siemens as is my main breaker panel. Siemens does "get you" by charging $12 for a ground bar. If you're connecting this to your 200 amp main breaker panel via a double 60 amp breakers, use 6-3 with ground cable from the breakers to the lugs inside the sub panel (This is my opinion after studying the NEC which actually doesn't even specifically address "sub panels").
